Purple Romance

Chapter 22: Whose fault is it?



"I see, Maria can you help me bandage his arm? I need to apply some force to it and correct the dislocation" Mr. Gideon said.

"Yes, sir" Maria said and nodded her head before she sat beside Ad-Din.

Mr. Gideon bandaged Ad-Din's hand with a cast and gave him some antibiotic injection. He served them a glass of water each and looked at the young couple before him.

Mr. Gideon was Ad-Din's uncle. His mother's elder cousin. He was a doctor and a professor who taught at the University.

''I know you are a young couple and you have your own ways of playing around, but, until the cast is removed, you should restrain from doing anything strenuous''. Mr. Gideon said and Maria blushed and looked away feeling ashamed.

''Uncle, is not what you think. We were just…'' Ad-Din didn't need to finish his sentence and his uncle dismissed him.

''You don't have to explain anything to me. I am not that clueless. Anyways, how are you two getting back?'' Mr. Gideon didn't give them the chance to explain as he stood up.

''I will drive''. Maria said and stood up.

''We will call for a driver''. Ad-Dind said.

Maria looked at Ad-Din and said ''why would you call a driver? I drove you to this place perfectly fine''.

''I am worried that you will be tired, that's all. Let's call for a driver, mm?'' Ad-Din said.

''Okay''. Maria said unhappily.

Mr. Gideon watched the young couple amusingly and smiled. His sister really raised the boys well. He was young and considerate of his girlfriend.contemporary romance

''I know a driver. I will let him come and pick you guys''. Mr. Gideon said to them.

''Thanks. I'm sorry to have inconvenience you without prior notice" Ad-Din told his uncle.

"What nonsense is that? We are a family. I got to even meet your girlfriend as a result" Mr. Gideon said and looked at Maria who was blushing.

"Uncle… about today, I wish you don't tell my mom or anyone about it. We have a special situation that we can't talk about right now"

''Don't worry. I won't tell your mother or anyone else. I was once like you two. Why don't you take her around the house while I call the driver? It might take some time before he comes if he is far away from the ranch" Mr. Gideon said and went to give the driver a call.

"Thank you, uncle" Ad-Din said as his uncle left them alone.

''How do you feel? Are you fine now?'' Maria asked looking at the cast.

''You still haven't told me what exactly you were thinking about that made you to push me away that hard?':

''Mm, it was nothing much. Just random thoughts. No need to think about that''. Maria said and flushed.

Now that he asked her again, she was beginning to want to look at his lower body part and see whether it was big or not. Maria shook her head as she tried to tear her gaze from that place.

Ad-Din followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at his lower body and frowned. He wondered what kind of thoughts she was having.

''You…you were not having lewd thoughts. Were you?''.

''No!! I am not that kind of person, okay?'' Maria retorted back immediately confirming his guess.

''I know we will get to that part but I didn't want it to be anytime soon because I am still a student, but. How could you be thinking of that? We were at the beach of all places?'' Ad-Din teased her.

''I said no. I wasn't having such thoughts okay? I am not in such a hurry''. Maria glared at him.

''I think you were. You even looked at me just now in a lewd way. Maria, I can satisfy your curiosity but not here and not even now. You don't have to worry about my size too. It will make you happy when we decide to go that further one day''. Ad-Din said and smirked.

Maria bit her lips and turned away from me. How could he be so shameless? Didn't he know they were in somebody's house?

"Shameless. I'm not talking to you again" Maria said and looked away.

''I stayed here with Calia when I was 5. I have a room here. Do you want to check it out while we wait for the driver?'' Ad-Din said and Maria turned to face him.

''Lead the way, then''. Maria stood up.

Ad-Din smiled and led the way to his room in the second floor. Ad-Din opened the door for Maria to go when they got there.

''Nothing much has changed since I left. Is still the same. Uncle left it like that so that I can always come here and relax''.

Maria saw a picture frame of a boy and a girl smiling together and she pointed at it. ''Is that you and Calia?''

''Yes''. Ad-Din picked up the picture frame and gave to Maria.

''She hasn't changed much. She is still cute''. Maria said. Ad-Din used the one that wasn't hurt to hold Maria's hand. He pulled her closer to himself and wrapped it around her waist.

''We are in your uncle's house. What if he comes in and sees us like this?'' Maria attempted to step back.

''Don't worry. He won't come in without knocking. Now, shall we continue from where we left off at the beach? Though I can't show you how healthy I am down there yet, I can still make you imagine it with my tongue''.

''Shameless''.

Ad-Din leaned in to kiss Maria and his uncle opened the door without knocking and saw what they were about to do.

''cough…cough…sorry. The driver is in''.

Mr. Gideon said and Maria bit her lips and hid her face in Ad-Din's oversized coat making the two men to laugh.

MARIA'S APARTMENT.

The driver pulled over and Maria turned to look at Ad-Din. ''I'm sorry about your hand. Will you be okay with using only one hand?''

''Would you follow me home if I say no?' Ad-Din asked and Maria deduced the underlining meaning''

''Stop messing around. I am worried about you''.

''Is okay. I can manage but please, can you not give us any exercise to do tomorrow? I won't be able to write now that I've hurt my hand''.

''You write with your left hand?'' Maria was surprised.

''Yes, didn't you know?''

Maria shook her head ''I didn't know. Anyways, not giving you work tomorrow? That depends on my mood''. Maria said and got down from the car and spoke to the driver. ''Driver, Please, send him home safely. Call me when you get home, Ad-Din''.

Maria stood and watched till the car disappeared from her sight before she went inside the house.

Maria turned the hall lights on and saw her father seated on the sofa. She frowned and asked him "what do you want again?"

Marley Suwait knelt down in front of Maria and started weeping. The scene which she didn't expect shocked her. Off course, she didn't believe her father's actions were sincere either.

"Portia, I am your father no matter what. Must you go to this extent to make things difficult for me?"

"What are you talking about?" Maria stepped back as she asked him. She really didn't know what he was talking about.

"That boy, can you tell him to let me off for once? I've been banned from entering all the casinos I usually go to. I don't have money and I'm feeling really bored to death. That boy, that night he warned me to stay away from you but look at what he has done to me?"

"Ah" Maria chuckled dryly. So, this was the reason why her father who always abuses her suddenly became docile and was even begging her? Turns out Ad-Din did threaten him.

"Do you know? This is the first time you're actually begging me to do something for you?" Maria said to him.

"I'm desperate Portia. Forgive dad this once and tell that boy to let me off"

"Dad? Is really been long since I mentioned that word. I think I stopped calling you that since the day you stole my tuition to go and gamble and even took a loan in my name using the family register. I really don't want to see you around me again. Please leave my house. I am the most happiest that you wire banned from entering all the casinos, why would I tell him to do otherwise?"

"So, you won't help me talk to that boy?" Marley Suwait asked as he stood up.

"Yes, that is what I just said. I am tired of letting you have your way every time. You threatened me the last time and now you're begging me. Mr. Suwait, I must say you really changed quite a lot from the last time I saw you. I should thank Ad-Din for that because you look more sane and alive" Maria said in a mocking tone which angered her father.

"You slut!!" Marley Suwait said angrily and lugged at Maria but the latter dodged and in the process threw him out the door in the process. Maria quickly locked the door and heaved a relief as she heard her father cussing her outside the door.

"You little slut. Wait till I get you where I want. Do you think your relationship with that teenager is going to last? Let me tell you, you are just like your mother. That boy's family will never accept you"

Maria sighed and leaned against the door feeling proud of herself. She wasn't going to allow him to do whatever he wanted anymore.
